Go read the mythical man month and come back. However, since you once again are bouncing around with random half thought out ideas and I don't believe you will ever do that... Throwing resources at things does not always improve progress!

I never anything said about "throwing resources at things" nor throwing programmers at the project as your implying. Instead of projecting, why not ask for clarification next time and little less insulting next time? Where did you get the idea in the in the first place?
You don't know anything about me, quit acting like that you do.

Well the spring engine is currently in state of reorganisation, meaning code is mainly refactored, to do stuff it did before, while beeing easier readable, faster and less prone to break.

Such things dont make for spectacular funding campaigns.

Spring applied for Googles Summer Code Camp and was rejected
(In parts due to community hostility- i wonder where that did come from..)
and a lack of popularity
(Those Logicloopers at G cant eat a damn breakfast, without facing off a chicken-Hun dilema) so the free workforce went to Battle of Wesnoth.

Spring has some features that its needing for quite a while now:

Mesh-Deformation
Improved Unit-Physics
A SFX editor
Infrastructure Update (Not the Lobbys, but the whole Server blowing up once community doubles lemas.)

and that are just the things that come to my mind. But that s another shoe with engine development- half of the funding would be diverted into "tools" where the player cant immediately see the outcome - so corruption i scream..

if we could get support for mesh deformation, not some alternate animation system that cannot use code, not inverse kinematics or ragdoll or whatever other wierd shit, just focus on that I would put in around 200$ towards it.

Another Spring dev using Bitcoin..
I've send 4690 bits to Kloot, more then a whole Euro. I got these particular bitcoin bits from the Armoury project for trying out their client at the Bitcoin conference back in May.

Now I do want something in return, can you PM an e-mail address where I can mail you my list of features I would like you to implement? I have some idea's about bitcoin integration.. been mailing Licho about it but he is smart and asked if I was planning to implement it myself..

Personally I would avoid bitcoin for anything but transactions as it doesn't give a clear idea how much is being donated to which feature, and what's being produced by the money.
It kinda feels like donating blindly.
